Baby Bottle Campaign

I am looking for a few volunteers. I have been scouring the internet for some adoption fundraiser ideas...and I found what I think is a really good one! ~More on that in a minute~ We're not all the way approved yet, but we need to raise some funds. You may remember that I did a fundraiser back in November with some Scentsy stuff...and we raised a little bit. (You can always order Scentsy from my website...and all the money I make through Scentsy goes towards our adoption expenses) And EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS. The average total ticket for an adoption might be $20K-$25K, but that is made up of a few big expenses and lots of little expenses...like plane tickets, hotel rooms (traveling to the state where the babies are born) and attorney fees and court costs and FedEx-ing documents, etc.

The idea I found is a Baby Bottle Campaign. It is simple really...we get family and friends to take an empty baby bottle with them to work and get the people you work with to fill it...you figure almost everyone ends up with a little change in their pockets...and a bottle full of change can really add up! And like I said before...EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS. So, back to the looking for volunteer thing. I'll send you the bottle, you fill it and send it back. I'll also include some of our pass-along cards that you can give to people who donate. Our goal is to send out 10 bottles...but if we can send out more that would be even better!

If you would be willing to take a bottle to work or school with you...or send one with your hubby...let me know.

Everywhere in nature we are taught the lessons of patience and waiting. We want things a long time before we get them, and the fact that we want them a long time makes them all the more precious when they come.
